"Haha, it did sound a bit like an insult! "
It really wasn't intended as such
A straw man is a decoy put up to divert attention - honest !!
"Any way ... my original post didn't attribute anything to you. "
Maybe not, but it is one of the regular ploys put up in these arguments
Ast to expect hearing folk songs in a folk club and people will suggest you expect only folk songs#Ask for basic standards and you are accused of demanding virtuoso singing
I wouldn't waste my time in museum clubs that only put on unaccompanied traditional songs - that would be purist

Dave, for the record - this is the posting I asked you to respond to
